Enhance Your Look with Broadband Light Therapy in Beverly Hills
BroadBand Light Therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses multiple wavelengths of light to gently reverse signs of aging and improve the skin’s texture and tone. This innovative anti-aging treatment delivers light energy deep into the skin to stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production. Acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone and texture can all be treated with this very customizable procedure. While particular forms of solar-based light energy (UVA, IRA, UVB) cause damage to the skin and promote signs of aging, the BroadBand device does the exact opposite. It employs photothermal energy — a highly effective light energy that targets and repairs damaged skin.
What is BroadBand Light Therapy?
BroadBand Light Therapy uses photothermal energy to penetrate the deep layers of skin and repair damaged tissues. BBL is a safe and effective solution to reverse signs of aging and damage in multiple areas of the face and body. Patients often seek BBL to reduce and treat skin conditions such as:
- Sun Damage
- Rosacea
- Pigmentation
- Acne
- Acne Scars
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
- Age Spots
- Uneven Texture
- Loose Skin
- Redness & Inflammation
Although it produces similar effects to laser treatments, it is essential to note that this is not a laser treatment. Laser treatments often operate at a single wavelength, while BBL uses a broad light spectrum. This means that we can filter the light energy in several ways to treat various skin conditions. The new and innovative technology behind the BBL device allows practitioners to provide quick and comfortable treatment for patients of nearly any skin tone with enduring results. The devices’ multi-pass approach possesses the capability to treat signs of aging on all levels of the skin. A single pass can rejuvenate and invigorate the skin, while multiple passes with varying light filters can deliver corrective results for acne, pigmentation, skin tightening, and much more.
BroadBand Light Therapy Benefits

With the BBL device, practitioners can treat nearly any condition, from signs of aging to active acne. This result-oriented device is clinically proven to “turn back time,” restoring a revitalized appearance safely and with minimal downtime.

Yearly treatments, sun protection, and a good skincare routine can help maintain the effects of BBL Therapy.

Before & Preparation
- You will attend a consultation where your chosen practitioner will evaluate your condition, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a treatment plan.
- BBL therapy often requires a series of sessions for optimal results. A typical treatment plan consists of 2-4 treatments in 3-4 week intervals.
- Use proper sun protection in the weeks before your treatment.
- Avoid smoking for a minimum of six weeks before treatment.
- Discontinue medications that may cause excess bleeding.
- Discontinue antibiotics as advised by your provider.
- Avoid skincare products and retinoids that cause skin sensitivity.
- Arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup (for BBL therapy on the face and neck).
- Before your procedure, you may apply sunscreens or moisturizers to the treatment area(s).
- Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after your treatment.
- You may take arnica supplements in the weeks before and after your procedure to prevent irritation and expedite the healing process.
- You may apply the topical numbing cream Zensa before arriving at your appointment if you are highly sensitive to discomfort.
During the Procedure
- Your practitioner will provide you with protective eyewear and apply a topical anesthetic and cooling gel to the treatment area(s) if necessary.
- As the procedure progresses, you may see some light flashes and feel a warming sensation.
- The procedure isn’t painful. However, you may experience slight discomfort in more sensitive areas.
- Treatment time will vary based on the area and condition you want to address. On average, a single treatment can last between 5 and 30 minutes.
- Your provider will glide the device over the treatment area(s) multiple times using the proper light filters to address your specific skin concerns.
- The device will emit broad-spectrum photothermal energy into the skin.
- The upper layers of the skin will absorb the heat and energy from the light, destroying pigmented skin cells and closing superficial blood vessels. The light energy penetrates the deeper skin layer, triggering a natural wound-healing response that generates the formation of new cells and boosts collagen production.

- Avoid exfoliating skincare products, waxing, plucking, or use of depilatory products for 4-6 weeks after treatment.
- Limit sun exposure and utilize proper sun protection in the weeks following your treatment.
